In 1975, Mike Wallace interviewed with the Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi during a ski vacation in Switzerland. At the time, the U.S. faced high unemployment and a struggling economy. Wallace asked the shah if the high price of oil was the root of the world's economic chaos. In early 1979, the shah left Iran and went into exile, and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini assumed control of the country. #iran #iranianhistory #shah
